Scotiabank StairClimb for United Way

Step Up for your community

Scotiabank StairClimb for United Way is an annual, community-wide fundraising event to raise dollars and awareness of local issues hurting our region. 

When COVID-19 struck our region, many people could not, and cannot afford to prepare for the impact it would have on their family. Now, as we head into an uncertain recovery, we know that people already facing barriers – things like hunger, mental illness and social isolation – will need your help like never before.

Join us as we come together virtually and Step Up for our community.

This year, Scotiabank StairClimb for United Way is entirely virtual. But just because we can’t be together, doesn’t mean we can’t stand together for our community.

Here’s the details:

1. Welcome to our new online system. It’s seamless and will allow you to showcase how you are choosing to Scotiabank StairClimb while earning badges and bragging rights for things like hitting fundraising milestones, sharing why you give to your community, and more!
   
   
2. Register here where you can create your profile page, gather your team, collect pledges and earn cool badges that highlight your hard work, your fundraising goals and the points you’ve collected. This will help you encourage others to get involved for their community too.
   
   
3. Scotiabank StairClimb Options:
   1. Step Up your United Way
      • Get creative and Step Up your way! You and your team can map out a route of 472 meters, one meter for each step at One London Place, our traditional gathering place for Scotiabank StairClimb for United Way, and start your training. And if you’re the more adventurous type, why not go for 4720 meters? Or skip 472 times? Or shoot 472 hoops? Or 472 jumping jacks? The possibilities are endless and completely up to you! Don’t forget to stay safe and physically distanced while you are out there.

      
      

   2. Virtual Boot Camp Community Builder
      • Stumped on an idea of how to Scotiabank StairClimb? That’s okay! You can Scotiabank StairClimb as a team but apart, virtually from your homes! Much like you signed up for a climb time, if a boot camp is how you are stepping up this year, you can sign up for a boot camp time, once you are registered contact us before Oct. 15 to get you and your team booked in!
